I have had several breakdowns at work over the years, and I hate it, but sometimes it can't be helped. My most recent one was at a new job, and it was very short in duration and mild, but it still made me feel weak and terrible as a person. Fortunately, I have worked mostly for somewhat touchy-feely non-profits, and there is more room for that sort of thing in those environments. What I found so amusing when reading articles about crying at work was the absolute horror with which it was summarily advised against...as if it is some of guaranteed career suicide that you can never, ever come back from and not only that, it makes you a pariah. There is such an intense outcry against it--as if people can just automatically cancel the fact that they have feelings the minute they enter the door to their job. Personally, I feel that emotions ARE a form of logic and intelligence, and need to be acknowledged and felt (within reason) in a place of work. <br /><br />Anyway, thanks as always for reading!<br /><br />KristenKristen McHenryhttp://thegoodtypist.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855802737317865685.post-2812930469417065972012-01-09T12:15:41.786-08:002012-01-09T12:15:41.786-08:00Or I could claim an eye infection, which would exp...Or I could claim an eye infection, which would explain the swelling and redness.<br /><br />Great post!Kristin Berkey-Abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16841824206762029363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855802737317865685.post-43963748569156963542012-01-09T11:22:51.800-08:002012-01-09T11:22:51.800-08:00p.s. love the robot!p.s. love the robot!Risa Denenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09157041687549002339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855802737317865685.post-16182020433542643432012-01-09T11:22:00.498-08:002012-01-09T11:22:00.498-08:00OMG, yes.
